Among those fifteen species and five subspecies are the first record for the fauna of Iran. Among the evaluated species, Oryctes nasicornis (Linnaeus, 1758), Tropinota hirta (Poda, 1761), Pentodon sulcifrons (Kuster, 1848), Copris hispanus (Linnaeus, 1764) and Oxythyrea cinctella (Schaum, 1841) were the common species in Iran. Key words: Scarabaeoidae, Iran, fauna, Razavi Khorasan, first record Anahtar sözcükler: Scarabaeoidae, İran, fauna, Razavi Horasan, ilk kayıt Introduction Scarabaeoidea fauna of Iran has not been studied in detail. The studies of Afshar (1944), Zairi (1976), Baroughi (1977), Barari et al. (1998) and Modarres Awal (2002) retain great importance. There is not any detailed study on the Scarabaeoidea fauna of Razavi Khorasan province. Material collected from the different parts of Razavi Khorasan province of Iran have been evaluated in this paper. Material and Methods Scarabaeid beetles were collected from Razavi Khorasan province during 1987-1998 by knock down and sweeping net methods and also in some places light traps were used. The material collected by author and housed in the collections of Agricultural Faculty of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in Iran was also included in this study. * Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran e-mail: [email protected] Alınış (Received): 05.09.2006 163 Material reported the first time from Iran has been given by asterisks after scientific name of species.

  • Reaching the Poor in Mashhad City: from Subsidising Water to Providing Cash Transfers in Iran
    Int. J. Water, Vol. 10, Nos. 2/3, 2016 213 Reaching the poor in Mashhad City: from subsidising water to providing cash transfers in Iran Jalal Attari Power and Water University of Technology, Hakimiyeh, Tehran, Iran Email: [email protected] Meine Pieter van Dijk* International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University, 3062PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract: In 2011, the Iranian Government started paying cash transfers to compensate for higher prices of basic commodities and public services. The first phase of this reform is analysed. The effects of the reform with regard to domestic water consumption within the country and more specifically in the city of Mashhad, located in North West of Iran, have been examined. To do a policy impact study, we investigated the water bills of poor people residing in suburbs of Mashhad, and carried out a household survey. The overall water consumption has decreased in the entire city, but the decline was more significant in the suburbs which are predominately populated by poor residents. Paying the rebate directly to the consumers has been effective in terms of water demand management. This new approach has increased equity among consumers. However, macro-economic conditions have changed drastically and cash transfers are no longer substantial, given inflation and tariff increases. Keywords: subsidy; cash transfers; drinking water; water tariffs; urban water consumption; pro-poor policies; Iran. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Attari, J. and van Dijk, M.P.

  • Saudi Arabia Relations Figuring out the Next Move
    Briefing January 2016 Iran-Saudi Arabia relations Figuring out the next move SUMMARY Relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia – two powerhouses and major rivals of the Muslim world – have always been complicated. The 1979 Revolution in Iran, and the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), have contributed to entrenching their historical antagonisms and left an imprint in the foreign policies of both Iran and Saudi Arabia. Since 2011, Tehran and Riyadh have repeatedly exchanged blows, including through their proxies in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Iran has also often been accused of interfering in the internal affairs of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and other Gulf countries with significant Shiite minorities. Iran, on the other hand, has accused Saudi Arabia of promoting anti-Shiite policies and practices. Both sides have also resorted to downgrading or suspending diplomatic ties in the past – as was the case of Iran and Saudi Arabia in 1988, and Iran and Bahrain in 2011 and 2015. In that sense, the recent decision by Saudi Arabia and several other Gulf countries to cut or downgrade diplomatic ties with Iran does not represent a radical change in their bilateral relations but is nonetheless worrying given growing sectarian problems in the region. The escalation of the conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia – only a few weeks after the two countries sat for the first time at the same table to discuss the conflict in Syria – comes at a particularly sensitive moment. Implementation of the carefully brokered diplomatic undertakings of the past few months – in particular the nuclear deal with Iran and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2254 (2015) on Syria – depend on good relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
